My Blog is Fabulous!

Got tagged by Gracie. :-) It's been a while since I've done one of these. LOL. Thanks Gracie!



the rule:

You need to list 5 addictions that you have and pass this tag/award to 5 more fabulous blogs.

MY ADDICTIONS:

1. JUNK FOOD



My friends now how bad my addiction is when it comes to junk food. This is one of the reasons why I gained weight. Combos like chips and chocolate is my favorite of them all. I guess I never outgrew this phase. Hehe!


2. SHOPPING




It's a form of exercise actually. LOL. Seriously though, there's nothing like having this great feeling at the end of a shopping day when I know that I've gotten great finds and good deals. Who needs drugs when you've got shopping high?

3. TRAVELLING WITH MY HUSBAND



Don't get me wrong, I also love to travel with my friends and other family members but it's different with my husband. It's sharing an adventure with him and then we get to tell our future grandkids about it is what makes it more special.

4. INDIAN FOOD



Junk food is not my only addiction, I am also addicted to Indian food. Hmmm... This is not good, I've put two kinds of food in this addiction list. Haha! Now you know where the extra pounds came from. LOL! Seriously though, my husband and I are both addicted to Indian food. Since we're both fans of spicy food, Indian food is heaven!

Lastly...

5. MOVIES




I am addicted to watching movies. If I can do one thing for the whole day, this would be it. I can sit or rather slouch or possible lie down in bed while having a movie marathon.

Now, I'm tagging: Em, Andrea, Joy and the sisters, Abie and Vien.

Power of Prayer

that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS).

We prayed:
1. Through The Rain 2. God’s gift 3. The Adventures of Dong and Jing 4. Me, Myself and I 5. malditang bunso’s journal 6. Underneath It All 7. 100% Kelly 8. My Colorful World 9.

Let's all continue praying for the victims and their families. Please join in the prayer: raft3r, Marie, Andrea, Gracie and Sendo.

Big Eyed Gal's 10

Tagged by Maver! Mega delayed reply.. Sowee!

1. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves;
2. Bloggers that are tagged need post these rules amd and their ten things on their own blog;
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 10 people to keep the tag going;
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged!

My Random 10:

1. I scare easily but I love watching horror movies.
2. I love performing in stage plays in high school.
3. Most of my roles in #3 are gaymen (High school pa lang babaeng bakla na ako. LOL!)
4. My first stage appearance was at age 8. I was a carabao.
5. I can bend my two thumbs towards the back of my hand. It looks funny when I do my thumbs up sign. LOL!
6. I am easy to please.
7. I love video games! (Pata-pata-pata-pon! Haha!)
8. I once used a pen to put a dimple on my cheek. I was envious of my friends who had dimples so I decided to make one. hahaha! Loser!
9. I don't have a TIN. Since most of my employed life is spend working in a foreign mission, we are not required to pay tax (that's what we were told) so I didn't bother applying for a TIN. Hehe!
10. I used to sleep walk when I was a kid.

I can't really tag 10 people because this is a long overdue tag. Just snag it if you haven't done this. :-)

A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,
A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,
A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,

A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day.
A rose can say farewell when someone goes away,
A rose can say hello, I'm thinking of you today,
There's just so many wonderful things that a rose can say,

Peculiar Friday Tag

Obviously this is a late tag. LOL! Thanks Marie for this! :-)

DO YOU PREFER…

1. To watch or participate?
It depends.... but I prefer to participate. :-)

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
Malls and internet...

3. A bath or shower?
A bath with matching candles and music. Hehe!

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
In person but if they're miles away I'd prefer the phone rather than an e-mail.

5. Typing or writing?
When it comes to notes in school, I'd prefer to type it but for snail mail, I prefer writing. It's more personal that way. :-)

I'm tagging: Louraine, Princess and Papams.

I am an "Advocate"

Was tagged by Mind Bubbles and Abie. Thanks girls!

I already took this kind of test when I was in college. Being a Psych grad, we had this one subject where we took almost all available Psych tests in school and we get to check our scores and see the interpretations. And I find it amusing to see that I haven't changed. This was also my Personality Type way back in 1998. :-)

Click to view my Personality Profile page



ENFP - "The Advocate"

ENFPs are introspective, values-oriented, inspiring, social and extremely expressive. They actively send their thoughts and ideas out into the world as a way to bring attention to what they feel to be important, which often has to do with ethics and current events. ENFPs are natural advocates, attracting people to themselves and their cause with excellent people skills, warmth, energy and positivity. ENFPs are described as creative, resourceful, assertive, spontaneous, life-loving, charismatic, passionate and experimental.

About the ENFP

"They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives."
- The Portrait of the Champion Idealist (Keirsey)

"ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it."
- Portrait of an ENFP (The Personality Page)

"Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone, especially on a regular basis."
- ENFP Profile (TypeLogic)
"outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking..."
- ENFP Jung Type Descriptions (similarminds.com)

"ENFPs are energetic and enthusiastic leaders who are likely to take charge when a new endeavor needs a visionary spokesperson. ENFPs are values-oriented people who become champions of causes and services relating to human needs and dreams. Their leadership style is one of soliciting and recognizing others' contributions and of evaluating the personal needs of their followers. ENFPs are often charismatic leaders who are able to help people see the possibilities beyond themselves and their current realities. They function as catalysts."
- ENFP - The Visionary (Lifexplore)

"Ranked 1st of all 16 types in using social and emotional coping resources and 2nd in using cognitive resources. "
- ENFP Facts (discoveryourpersonality.com)

A Simple Tag by Meeya, Mrs. Working Girl.


Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an “A,” you’d replace the link under that letter and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.

A. A Detour

Rule #2: You now have to “tag” at least five people and encourage them to participate. Remember, though, that not everyone is into these kinds of things, so don’t be upset if they don’t participate. Just simply replace your tag. Remember to tag blogs only and no pornographic ones as we do want to keep the integrity as a blogging community.

Red Rose for the Ladies


This Red Rose came from my also new found friend in the net

Dez

Thank You deary!

Red rose has number of thorns in it, when it pinches your fingers it hurts. Everyday in my life is just like red roses. Sometimes life is not always a bed of roses, but life is great with GOD. Now, it's my turn to share this red rose. Im passing this to:

Men Hunt Tag

I was tagged by Abie. Thanks girl! :-)

This is the MEN HUNT TAG- also known as the Men-I-would-like-to-sleep-with-if-only-I-were-single tag.

Like Em, I also have a thing for bald (mostly by choice) guys but I'm also attracted to guys with gorgeous eyes that have the penetrating-through-your-skull stare and of course, a great smile. So, I was thinking long and hard on who I would put in this list. And after much deliberation, these are the "winners" (in no particular order).

Ready ladies??? ;-)

1. Ryan Gosling
There's this innocence in his face but when I look into his gorgeous eyes, I can see the bad*ss man that he can be. Plus, the voice is oh so macho! I was really drooling when I was watching The Notebook.



2. Hugh Jackman
What's not to like? He's tall and handsome! I don't care if he's a mutant or a vampire killer. I love Hugh Jackman!



3.Tom Welling
I've had a crush on him the first time I watched Smallville. I thought he was more of a Superboy than a Superman until I saw an off-shirt scene of his. *pushing up my lower jaw and wiping my drool*




4. Brandon Routh
My hero. Super handsome! Super gorgeous! Superman! Hahaha! I remember watching Superman Returns in IMAX 3D. I was literally trying to grab him when his 3D image was flying in front of my face at the end of the movie. LOL!



5. Chris Evans
Another superhero. I was really crushing on him in Fantastic Four but I really liked him in The Nanny Diaries. He's soo cute!!!




6. Wentworth Miller
His voice is like Ryan Gosling's. Well, they don't sound alike but you'd be surprised to hear their super low-macho voice. I just can't get enough of his eyes. *I'm melting!*



7. Michael Vartan
I dunno but the first time I saw him in Never Been Kissed opposite Drew Barrymore, I just can't help but have a crush on him. And just like the men in this list, I love his eyes.



8. Josh Hartnett
Again with the eyes. *swoon* Argh! I can just melt... *sigh* Love him in 40 Days and 40 Nights and in Pearl Harbor. It's a shame I wasn't able to see him when he went here last year.




9. Ryan Reynolds
Once you get passed his Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place and Van Wilder image of his and have seen Blade Trinity, then you'll never look at Ryan Reynolds the same way again. Who would've thought that this funny guy can be oh so sexy -- I did! Mahal na bigas... pandesal na lang! Dami nya oh. LOL!



10. Vin Diesel
He is the hunkiest of them all plus he's got that great smile too. I'm gonna be feeling so safe when I'm with him. Just look at those arms! *gigil* LOL!



11. Wendell Ramos
My only local pick. I've had a crush on him since high school. I can't remember where I first saw him but when I did saw him in person, I just stared and stared. Creepy na dating ko. Haha! By the way, this is the only decent and dressed photo of Wendell that I found in the web. The rest were all photos of him half naked during the Bench fashion show. Hehe! *hot*




P.S. I've narrowed it down to 10 foreign and one local pick otherwise, I'd be able to list 10 more. Stop me! Hahahaha!


I'm curious on what Kay, Joy, Kit, Marie, Andrea, Gracie, Gracie Girl, Dez, Vien and Arlene think? Tag, you're it girls!

Why do I love him?

Another delayed tag. Sorry Em.

THE QUESTION: What do you love the most about your husband/ partner?


I think this is one of the hardest questions to answer... ever! Next to "Who am I?" Here goes...

♥ I love him for accepting who I am and (hopefully) who I will be in the future (whatever that is)
♥ I love him for doing the little things that (most of the time) makes the difference like taking my hand and kissing it while he's driving, saying and texting "I love you" at times when I least expect it (which makes me more "kilig"..LOL!), massaging/tickling my feet whenever we're watching TV, etc. etc...
♥ I love him for bringing me closer to my faith
♥ I love him for having our long intelligent, funny and wacky conversations that we have while driving, eating or before going to bed.
♥ I love him for being my best friend, lover, personal bodyguard and chef.
♥ I love him for being the selfless person that he is.
♥ I love him always being so respectful to my parents and other loved ones.
♥ I love him for his dimples. You might say it's shallow but they're just so cute! I love a man with dimples! :-)
♥ I love him for taking care of me when I'm sick. Even if it's just dysmenorrhea. LOL!
♥ I love him for being the soft-spoken and shy person that he is.
♥ I love him for giving me strength and hope whenever I feel frustrated and hopeless.
♥ I love him for not giving up.
♥ I love him for introducing me to one of his passions - music. I met a lot of interesting people. Some of which became my friends.
♥ I love him for giving financial support when I need it.
♥ I love him for accepting me as a deranged lady driver.
♥ I love him for trusting me to live in his apartment when we have school.
♥ I love him for doing anything he can just to make things easy for me. Spoiler! :-D
♥ I love him for his snoring. Believe it or not, I have a hard time sleeping alone now because I don't hear him snoring.
♥ I love him because he taught me how a princess feels when she is with his prince ;-)
♥ I love him period.

***I would gladly and without regret go through whatever it was I went through in the past as long as I'd end up being with him. The heartaches and pain are all worth it just to be with him.***

I'm tagging: Andrea, Kay, Dez, Arlene and Gracie.

I AM GRATEFUL...

I was tagged by Em. Thanks deary!


1. I am grateful for being alive. Though I may constantly whine about the littlest things, in the end, I realize that from the food that I eat, the clothes that I wear and the house that I live in, my life (no matter how simple or complicated it may seem at times) is truly blessed.
2. I am grateful for my parents and my relationship with them. Though it may not be perfect, I know that they’ll always be there for me, no matter what and vice versa.
3. I am grateful for Aris who has always been there for me despite everything.
4. I am grateful for being able to go to school again so I can be of great help to my family and future family as well.
5. I am grateful for having such great close friends. They are also one of the reasons that keep me grounded and help me maintain my sanity. We may not be related by blood but I treat them like my sisters and brothers.
6. I am grateful for my mom’s **** (my friends know what this is).
7. I am grateful for my family and friends' good health.
8. I am grateful for my dog Sundae. She always manages to bring a smile to my face with her crazy antics no matter how down I am.
9. I am grateful for being able to finish and pass my first year in nursing school. One year to go!
10 I am grateful for blogging (hehe!) because I gained new friends and became closer to old ones.

*Start Copy*
In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things:
1. Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.)
2. Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.)

After all, everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to take the challenge, please follow the appropriate link and do so: “Are You Grateful?“, “Complain Complain Complain.”

Kid’s Question #1
If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

MY ANSWER: I'd be good and fair especially to those in need. In the first place, I wouldn't be able to get what I want and have people do anything that I wanted if I'd be greedy and mean right? :-)

1. At what age do/did you wish to marry?
>>>I didn’t have a particular year in mind back then. But I remember when I went to this fortune teller and he told me that I should not get married before the age of 27 otherwise it will just end up in a separation. I think he was right! Hehe!

>>>Places actually --Europe(!!!), Japan India and South America

5. Which part of you that you hate the most?
>>>As in body part or personality? For body part, my forehead. That’s why I’ve always been teased as Ms. Full Moon when I was young. For personality, I guess (sometimes) being too loud. But this only happens when I’m really mad or really excited. LOL!

6. When you encounter a sad moment, what would you do?
>>>Like Em, I write on my journal and I cry… I go to church to pray, I also talk to my friends (to vent and rant) and if it’s really really bad, you’d hear me say: “Bring out the booze!” *wink wink*

13. Which type of person do you hate the most?
>>>Posers, backstabbers, liars. --> Amen to that! And can I just add, feeling God's gift to mankind know-it-all people.

14. What is your ambition?
>>>When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor (most kids did). Ally McBeal days, obviously, I wanted to be a lawyer. Now, it’s either to be a DR nurse, stylist or personal shopper (hehehe!)

>>>Let It Be

20. MY QUESTION: Forced choice: Would you rather get a piercing or a tattoo?

To answer Em’s question: “Define Friendship” It’s a bond between people who at most have the same interests, acts like their family and accepts each other’s flaws.

To answer Gracie's question: "If you can travel back in time, which year or era would you like to see?" Well, I would have to say 50'-60's mostly because of Audrey Hepburn and the lovely outfits they have. :-)

I'm not gonna tag anyone anymore because this is such a delayed tag that I'm sure most of you guys have done it already. If not, then snag away! ;-)

My Blog is Fabulous!

Got tagged by Gracie. :-) It's been a while since I've done one of these. LOL. Thanks Gracie!



the rule:

You need to list 5 addictions that you have and pass this tag/award to 5 more fabulous blogs.

MY ADDICTIONS:

1. JUNK FOOD



My friends now how bad my addiction is when it comes to junk food. This is one of the reasons why I gained weight. Combos like chips and chocolate is my favorite of them all. I guess I never outgrew this phase. Hehe!


2. SHOPPING




It's a form of exercise actually. LOL. Seriously though, there's nothing like having this great feeling at the end of a shopping day when I know that I've gotten great finds and good deals. Who needs drugs when you've got shopping high?

3. TRAVELLING WITH MY HUSBAND



Don't get me wrong, I also love to travel with my friends and other family members but it's different with my husband. It's sharing an adventure with him and then we get to tell our future grandkids about it is what makes it more special.

4. INDIAN FOOD



Junk food is not my only addiction, I am also addicted to Indian food. Hmmm... This is not good, I've put two kinds of food in this addiction list. Haha! Now you know where the extra pounds came from. LOL! Seriously though, my husband and I are both addicted to Indian food. Since we're both fans of spicy food, Indian food is heaven!

Lastly...

5. MOVIES




I am addicted to watching movies. If I can do one thing for the whole day, this would be it. I can sit or rather slouch or possible lie down in bed while having a movie marathon.

Now, I'm tagging: Em, Andrea, Joy and the sisters, Abie and Vien.

Power of Prayer

I was tagged by Em to do this. Thanks Em and thank you to whoever started this post.

Prayer for the MV Princess of the stars fatalities and survivors.

Dear God,

We pray that you comfort each bereaved family everyday as they grieved for their loss, we pray that you will supply all their needs, we pray for the survivors
that they may have a good life after the tragedy, that you will bless them and let them know in the deepest part of their heart that in spite of what have happened, you LOVE and CARE for them. This we pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. I encourage everyone to keep the prayer going. LET’S P.U.S.H. (PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS).

We prayed:
1. Through The Rain 2. God’s gift 3. The Adventures of Dong and Jing 4. Me, Myself and I 5. malditang bunso’s journal 6. Underneath It All 7. 100% Kelly 8. My Colorful World 9.

Let's all continue praying for the victims and their families. Please join in the prayer: raft3r, Marie, Andrea, Gracie and Sendo.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Big Eyed Gal's 10

Tagged by Maver! Mega delayed reply.. Sowee!

1. Each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves;
2. Bloggers that are tagged need post these rules amd and their ten things on their own blog;
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 10 people to keep the tag going;
4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged!

My Random 10:

1. I scare easily but I love watching horror movies.
2. I love performing in stage plays in high school.
3. Most of my roles in #3 are gaymen (High school pa lang babaeng bakla na ako. LOL!)
4. My first stage appearance was at age 8. I was a carabao.
5. I can bend my two thumbs towards the back of my hand. It looks funny when I do my thumbs up sign. LOL!
6. I am easy to please.
7. I love video games! (Pata-pata-pata-pon! Haha!)
8. I once used a pen to put a dimple on my cheek. I was envious of my friends who had dimples so I decided to make one. hahaha! Loser!
9. I don't have a TIN. Since most of my employed life is spend working in a foreign mission, we are not required to pay tax (that's what we were told) so I didn't bother applying for a TIN. Hehe!
10. I used to sleep walk when I was a kid.

I can't really tag 10 people because this is a long overdue tag. Just snag it if you haven't done this. :-)

Peculiar Friday Tag

Obviously this is a late tag. LOL! Thanks Marie for this! :-)

DO YOU PREFER…

1. To watch or participate?
It depends.... but I prefer to participate. :-)

2. Malls, catalog shopping, or the Internet?
Malls and internet...

3. A bath or shower?
A bath with matching candles and music. Hehe!

4. To talk to people by telephone, in person or by e-mail?
In person but if they're miles away I'd prefer the phone rather than an e-mail.

5. Typing or writing?
When it comes to notes in school, I'd prefer to type it but for snail mail, I prefer writing. It's more personal that way. :-)

I'm tagging: Louraine, Princess and Papams.

I am an "Advocate"

Was tagged by Mind Bubbles and Abie. Thanks girls!

I already took this kind of test when I was in college. Being a Psych grad, we had this one subject where we took almost all available Psych tests in school and we get to check our scores and see the interpretations. And I find it amusing to see that I haven't changed. This was also my Personality Type way back in 1998. :-)

Click to view my Personality Profile page



ENFP - "The Advocate"

ENFPs are introspective, values-oriented, inspiring, social and extremely expressive. They actively send their thoughts and ideas out into the world as a way to bring attention to what they feel to be important, which often has to do with ethics and current events. ENFPs are natural advocates, attracting people to themselves and their cause with excellent people skills, warmth, energy and positivity. ENFPs are described as creative, resourceful, assertive, spontaneous, life-loving, charismatic, passionate and experimental.

About the ENFP

"They can't bear to miss out on what is going on around them; they must experience, first hand, all the significant social events that affect our lives."
- The Portrait of the Champion Idealist (Keirsey)

"ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it."
- Portrait of an ENFP (The Personality Page)

"Friends are what life is about to ENFPs, moreso even than the other NFs. They hold up their end of the relationship, sometimes being victimized by less caring individuals. ENFPs are energized by being around people. Some have real difficulty being alone, especially on a regular basis."
- ENFP Profile (TypeLogic)
"outgoing, social, disorganized, easily talked into doing silly things, spontaneous, wild and crazy, acts without thinking..."
- ENFP Jung Type Descriptions (similarminds.com)

"ENFPs are energetic and enthusiastic leaders who are likely to take charge when a new endeavor needs a visionary spokesperson. ENFPs are values-oriented people who become champions of causes and services relating to human needs and dreams. Their leadership style is one of soliciting and recognizing others' contributions and of evaluating the personal needs of their followers. ENFPs are often charismatic leaders who are able to help people see the possibilities beyond themselves and their current realities. They function as catalysts."
- ENFP - The Visionary (Lifexplore)

"Ranked 1st of all 16 types in using social and emotional coping resources and 2nd in using cognitive resources. "
- ENFP Facts (discoveryourpersonality.com)

Red Rose for the Ladies


This Red Rose came from my also new found friend in the net

Dez

Thank You deary!

Red rose has number of thorns in it, when it pinches your fingers it hurts. Everyday in my life is just like red roses. Sometimes life is not always a bed of roses, but life is great with GOD. Now, it's my turn to share this red rose. Im passing this to:


Men Hunt Tag

I was tagged by Abie. Thanks girl! :-)

This is the MEN HUNT TAG- also known as the Men-I-would-like-to-sleep-with-if-only-I-were-single tag.

Like Em, I also have a thing for bald (mostly by choice) guys but I'm also attracted to guys with gorgeous eyes that have the penetrating-through-your-skull stare and of course, a great smile. So, I was thinking long and hard on who I would put in this list. And after much deliberation, these are the "winners" (in no particular order).

Ready ladies??? ;-)

1. Ryan Gosling
There's this innocence in his face but when I look into his gorgeous eyes, I can see the bad*ss man that he can be. Plus, the voice is oh so macho! I was really drooling when I was watching The Notebook.



2. Hugh Jackman
What's not to like? He's tall and handsome! I don't care if he's a mutant or a vampire killer. I love Hugh Jackman!



3.Tom Welling
I've had a crush on him the first time I watched Smallville. I thought he was more of a Superboy than a Superman until I saw an off-shirt scene of his. *pushing up my lower jaw and wiping my drool*




4. Brandon Routh
My hero. Super handsome! Super gorgeous! Superman! Hahaha! I remember watching Superman Returns in IMAX 3D. I was literally trying to grab him when his 3D image was flying in front of my face at the end of the movie. LOL!



5. Chris Evans
Another superhero. I was really crushing on him in Fantastic Four but I really liked him in The Nanny Diaries. He's soo cute!!!




6. Wentworth Miller
His voice is like Ryan Gosling's. Well, they don't sound alike but you'd be surprised to hear their super low-macho voice. I just can't get enough of his eyes. *I'm melting!*



7. Michael Vartan
I dunno but the first time I saw him in Never Been Kissed opposite Drew Barrymore, I just can't help but have a crush on him. And just like the men in this list, I love his eyes.



8. Josh Hartnett
Again with the eyes. *swoon* Argh! I can just melt... *sigh* Love him in 40 Days and 40 Nights and in Pearl Harbor. It's a shame I wasn't able to see him when he went here last year.




9. Ryan Reynolds
Once you get passed his Two Guys, A Girl and a Pizza Place and Van Wilder image of his and have seen Blade Trinity, then you'll never look at Ryan Reynolds the same way again. Who would've thought that this funny guy can be oh so sexy -- I did! Mahal na bigas... pandesal na lang! Dami nya oh. LOL!



10. Vin Diesel
He is the hunkiest of them all plus he's got that great smile too. I'm gonna be feeling so safe when I'm with him. Just look at those arms! *gigil* LOL!



11. Wendell Ramos
My only local pick. I've had a crush on him since high school. I can't remember where I first saw him but when I did saw him in person, I just stared and stared. Creepy na dating ko. Haha! By the way, this is the only decent and dressed photo of Wendell that I found in the web. The rest were all photos of him half naked during the Bench fashion show. Hehe! *hot*




P.S. I've narrowed it down to 10 foreign and one local pick otherwise, I'd be able to list 10 more. Stop me! Hahahaha!


I'm curious on what Kay, Joy, Kit, Marie, Andrea, Gracie, Gracie Girl, Dez, Vien and Arlene think? Tag, you're it girls!

Why do I love him?

Another delayed tag. Sorry Em.

THE QUESTION: What do you love the most about your husband/ partner?


I think this is one of the hardest questions to answer... ever! Next to "Who am I?" Here goes...

♥ I love him for accepting who I am and (hopefully) who I will be in the future (whatever that is)
♥ I love him for doing the little things that (most of the time) makes the difference like taking my hand and kissing it while he's driving, saying and texting "I love you" at times when I least expect it (which makes me more "kilig"..LOL!), massaging/tickling my feet whenever we're watching TV, etc. etc...
♥ I love him for bringing me closer to my faith
♥ I love him for having our long intelligent, funny and wacky conversations that we have while driving, eating or before going to bed.
♥ I love him for being my best friend, lover, personal bodyguard and chef.
♥ I love him for being the selfless person that he is.
♥ I love him always being so respectful to my parents and other loved ones.
♥ I love him for his dimples. You might say it's shallow but they're just so cute! I love a man with dimples! :-)
♥ I love him for taking care of me when I'm sick. Even if it's just dysmenorrhea. LOL!
♥ I love him for being the soft-spoken and shy person that he is.
♥ I love him for giving me strength and hope whenever I feel frustrated and hopeless.
♥ I love him for not giving up.
♥ I love him for introducing me to one of his passions - music. I met a lot of interesting people. Some of which became my friends.
♥ I love him for giving financial support when I need it.
♥ I love him for accepting me as a deranged lady driver.
♥ I love him for trusting me to live in his apartment when we have school.
♥ I love him for doing anything he can just to make things easy for me. Spoiler! :-D
♥ I love him for his snoring. Believe it or not, I have a hard time sleeping alone now because I don't hear him snoring.
♥ I love him because he taught me how a princess feels when she is with his prince ;-)
♥ I love him period.

***I would gladly and without regret go through whatever it was I went through in the past as long as I'd end up being with him. The heartaches and pain are all worth it just to be with him.***

I AM GRATEFUL...

I was tagged by Em. Thanks deary!


1. I am grateful for being alive. Though I may constantly whine about the littlest things, in the end, I realize that from the food that I eat, the clothes that I wear and the house that I live in, my life (no matter how simple or complicated it may seem at times) is truly blessed.
2. I am grateful for my parents and my relationship with them. Though it may not be perfect, I know that they’ll always be there for me, no matter what and vice versa.
3. I am grateful for Aris who has always been there for me despite everything.
4. I am grateful for being able to go to school again so I can be of great help to my family and future family as well.
5. I am grateful for having such great close friends. They are also one of the reasons that keep me grounded and help me maintain my sanity. We may not be related by blood but I treat them like my sisters and brothers.
6. I am grateful for my mom’s **** (my friends know what this is).
7. I am grateful for my family and friends' good health.
8. I am grateful for my dog Sundae. She always manages to bring a smile to my face with her crazy antics no matter how down I am.
9. I am grateful for being able to finish and pass my first year in nursing school. One year to go!
10 I am grateful for blogging (hehe!) because I gained new friends and became closer to old ones.

In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things:
1. Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.)
2. Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.)

After all, everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to take the challenge, please follow the appropriate link and do so: “Are You Grateful?“, “Complain Complain Complain.”

Kid’s Question #1
If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

MY ANSWER: I'd be good and fair especially to those in need. In the first place, I wouldn't be able to get what I want and have people do anything that I wanted if I'd be greedy and mean right? :-)

The 20 Meme


After the 10 meme, here's #20!!!

Tagged by Em and Gracie. Thanks gels!

Here are the rules: Remove one (1) question from below and add in your personal question, make it a total of 20 questions, then tag eight (8) people in your list. List them out at the end of this post.

1. At what age do/did you wish to marry?
>>>I didn’t have a particular year in mind back then. But I remember when I went to this fortune teller and he told me that I should not get married before the age of 27 otherwise it will just end up in a separation. I think he was right! Hehe!

2. What is your pseudonym? (from Em)
>>>Big Eyed Gal
What is your favorite color? (from Gracie)
>>>Pink

3. Have you ever shoplifted?
>>>Yes when I was in Grade 1 (haha!). I took 1 Hao Flakes from the candy shelves in our canteen in school because my dad was late in picking me up and I was so hungry that I got one Hao Flakes. Haha! Batang Yagit!

4. Where is the place that you want to go the most?
>>>Places actually --Europe(!!!), Japan India and South America

5. Which part of you that you hate the most?
>>>As in body part or personality? For body part, my forehead. That’s why I’ve always been teased as Ms. Full Moon when I was young. For personality, I guess (sometimes) being too loud. But this only happens when I’m really mad or really excited. LOL!

6. When you encounter a sad moment, what would you do?
>>>Like Em, I write on my journal and I cry… I go to church to pray, I also talk to my friends (to vent and rant) and if it’s really really bad, you’d hear me say: “Bring out the booze!” *wink wink*

7. What are you afraid to lose the most?
>>>Loved ones

8. If you win $1 million, what would you do?
>>>Donate, invest, save and splurge (hehe!)

9. What do you loved the most last year (2007)?
>>>Resigning from the embassy and going back to school (despite the constant whining)

10. List out 3 good points of the person who tagged you:
>>>Pretty (birds of the same feather make a good feather duster… hahaha!)
>>>Selfless (hands down!)
>>>Loving friend, sister, daughter, mother and wife

11. How do you cope with boredom?
>>>I play with my dog, Sundae, I read, I do sound trip, food trip (LOL) or I go to the mall.

12. Till now, what is the moment that you regret the most?
>>>Not realizing earlier the importance of having a healthy lifestyle and getting more than one credit card. Hehehe!

13. Which type of person do you hate the most?
>>>Posers, backstabbers, liars. --> Amen to that! And can I just add, feeling God's gift to mankind know-it-all people.

14. What is your ambition?
>>>When I was a kid, I wanted to be a doctor (most kids did). Ally McBeal days, obviously, I wanted to be a lawyer. Now, it’s either to be a DR nurse, stylist or personal shopper (hehehe!)

15. If you had one wish what would you wish for?
>>>This is hard but I guess I want happiness and contentment in all aspects of my life, family’s and friends’ life as well.

16. How did you celebrate new year?
>>>It was almost perfect. Aris was there together with my family. Only my brother, sis-in-law and nephew weren’t there. We were playing with firecrackers and fairy wands. We welcomed 2008 with big, colorful and feathery noise-makers.

17. It is already 2008, do you have a new year’s resolution?
>>>None that I kept.

18. What do you look forward to in 2008?
>>>Our trip in December. Viva LV!

19. If your life is a song, what title best fit it?
>>>Let It Be

20. MY QUESTION: Forced choice: Would you rather get a piercing or a tattoo?

To answer Em’s question: “Define Friendship” It’s a bond between people who at most have the same interests, acts like their family and accepts each other’s flaws.

To answer Gracie's question: "If you can travel back in time, which year or era would you like to see?" Well, I would have to say 50'-60's mostly because of Audrey Hepburn and the lovely outfits they have. :-)

I'm not gonna tag anyone anymore because this is such a delayed tag that I'm sure most of you guys have done it already. If not, then snag away! ;-)
